Quarantine Sampler 2

When Covid hit – bringing bands into the studio wasn’t an option and so the label started an ongoing project called ‘The Quarantine Series’ in which Carey under his ‘Savage Gary’ techno / electronic alter ego collaborated with artists and friends, old and new over the internet. Now reaching 20 in the series – the trajectory of these is in effect broadening the scope of the label itself – obviously with the larger influence of beats and electronics it’s resulting in tracks that are more hip-hop or electronic based.

Quarantine Sampler 2 features Wait and See from rising Bajan artist RoRo. A hypnotic masterful flow which meanders seamlessly around Carey’s pulsating electronics. It’s bursting with attitude and originality. Second is Cigarettes Pt. 2 from the enigmatic Londoner youngblackmale AKA Rutare Savage: It’s a poem, transformed into a song by the ever amazing Dan Carey. It touches (lightly) upon the topics of fear of the police, drug and alcohol abuse, family, and pulling oneself out of a nihilistic worldview driven by a newfound lust for life.
